.GOPchairwoman race turns negative, fight over abortion, ACLU, writes SecretsBedard
The race for Republican National Committee chairwoman is taking on the feel of a heated Senate race as supporters for three-term incumbent Ronna McDaniel spar with those of top challenger Harmeet Dhillon over who is conservative enough to run the party headquarters leading up to the next presidential election.
Others seeking to doom McDaniel have planted stories about spending abuses inside the RNC while also pointing a finger at the HQ over the party’s failure to win the Senate in last month’s elections. They also noted her statements that appeared soft on life issues and her disinterest in fighting Roe v. Wade and her membership with the ACLU. And they have questioned her support for Trump.Jeff Kaufmann, chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa and RNC member, told us, “Harmeet's statements are deeply concerning to me and they should concern every pro-life American. Our platform is clear: The Republican Party stands for life.
What’s more, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser endorsed McDaniel, calling her “the ‘gold standard’ for what it means to be a pro-life RNC chair.” But since then, and after hanging her own shingle out, Dhillon has worked with key figures in the anti-abortion movement and led legal battles against Planned Parenthood. She has been the lawyer for both Lila Rose, who heads Live Action, and David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress, known for a series of undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood leaders negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts.
And Dhillon said that she joined a California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union to push back on some of the harsher intelligence elements of the post-9/11-era Patriot Act, initially accepted by most politicians and Americans but later criticized as going too far.
